"Hey, guys. I saw you on that King Bull earlier. Do you need a hand or can you handle it just fine??" you asked through the comm.
"No, there's no need. Just look after Luffy for us. We're almost there at the courthouse" Zoro replied.You hummed and switched the call to Franky. "Oi, Franky. Did you hear the news from Spandam about our arrival yet??"Franky started laughing. "Sure did. We just got the news about the current situation"You smirked. "Yeah, and Luffy is already battling with one of the CP9 members" Then your smile dropped when you noticed that Luffy's body was acting strangely. You could see steam coming out of his body and visible pink marks all over his body.Is this the new technique that he was talking about earlier??"All my techniques will evolve one step further" Luffy placed his fist on the ground, preparing a stance."Second . . .Gear!!". . .You gasped in shock. Luffy managed to land a hit on Blueno with his new technique and defeated him. Oh wait, he mentioned that he fought with Admiral Aokiji before he reached Water 7 and he developed this new technique because of that.You smirked. "My, my, Kuzan. Goma grew stronger thanks to you" Of course, give some credit to CP9 for beating their asses earlier at Galley-La" You got up and walked to Luffy. "I'm impressed with your growth. You have gotten stronger, Goma"He grinned. "Of course, Arsene!!" Luffy got up on the stone ledge and took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs."ROBIN!!"Everyone inside the building is shocked that he's here."I've come to get you!!"You grinned while hiding behind the large stone ledge behind Luffy with your arms crossed. Then you heard a loud noise coming from the front. You took a peek and found that Franky had broken the chains and brought Robin to the balcony.You turned on the comm. "Oi, Franky. What the hell is going on??""No time to explain. Let Robin face Straw hat first. There's something she wants to say"You paused. What does she want to say?? You turned your gaze to Robin while you didn't notice that Luffy was about to slingshot himself."Wait!!"Luffy stopped and gazed at Robin."I've told you so many times already!! I won't return to you guys!! Go back!! I don't wanna see your faces again!! Why did you come to rescue me?! When did I ask you guys to rescue me?!"Luffy lets go of his arms as they flow back to their original length. Robin was panting from all the yelling, trying to push them away. You watch in silence with a neutral look, not saying anything."I just want to . . .die!!"Your lips quivered and your eyes widened. What did she say?? Does she want to die??Franky ran back to Robin. "What're you doing?! They risked their lives to come all the way here!! And you . . .""They did it on their own"Franky tried to talk Robin over but was kicked by Kaku. The rest of the CP9 joined in as well. Good thing you hid as they didn't notice you yet.While they are talking, you sense something coming this way, and it's from the lower levels!! Did the rest of the crew reach here?? The next thing you know, a wind twister came out from the ground, and at the end of it was Nami, Chopper, and a weird-looking guy.Nami landed safely while Chopper hit his nape from the landing."Oh, took you long enough," you said.Then Zoro climbed out of the hole. It seems he was the cause of it but you got no time to make fun of his sense of direction. Next, are Sanji and Ghin kicking and smashing through another hole and landing safely after that Usopp came out of nowhere as he flew up high."Woah, they're gathering one after another," Kaku said."Yoyoi!! In any case . . .to think that they've marched into headquarters. Although they're our enemy, that's admirable!!"Once the crew got Usopp out, they noticed you and you placed your finger on your lips, telling them not to alert CP9. They nodded and made their way to join Luffy."I'm begging you, Robin!! You can go ahead and say you wanna die or whatever, but say those things . . by our side!!" Luffy yelled."He's right, Robin!!" Sanji yelled."Robin!! Come back!!" Chopper joined in.Your eyes softened when you saw tears start to form in her eyes. Just know that there will be people by your side, Robin-ah. No matter how many times you push them away, the sea is vast and you will get friends. You'll never be born to be alone. . . You smiled as you closed your eyes and turned away. You took off your hat and threw it to the side. It seems you don't need this for a while."If . . .you exercise a Buster Call right here, right now, then together with Enies Lobby . . .you guys, too, will disappear""D-Don't be ridiculous!! There's no way we'd be eliminated by our own people's attack!! What're you saying?!""Twenty years ago, everything was taken away from me and many people's lives were ruined. It was caused by a single attack, Buster Call. That attack is now targeted at the friends I was finally able to find, whom I can be myself with. The more I wish to be with you, the more my fate will show its fangs to you!!"Robin-ah . . ."No matter how far I go on the sea, I have a huge enemy I can't shake off . . because the world and its darkness are my enemies!! The incident with Aokiji, as well as this time . . .I've already dragged you into my troubles twice!! If this continues forever, even though you guys are good-natured. . ." Robin clenched her fists."You'll eventually feel that I am a burden!! I'm sure one day you'll betray me and abandon me!! That's what I'm most afraid of!! That's why I didn't want you to come to rescue me!! If I'm going to die someday anyway, I want to die right here, right now!!"You took off your face mask and put it inside your bag while Spandam was laughing like a maniac. So that's why . . .if that's the case . . .You ignored his monologue then the next thing you know, Luffy ordered Usopp to shoot down the flag and burn it, shocking Spandam, the World Government, and the Marines soldiers."Mission accomplished," Usopp said."They've gone and done it!!""Do they understand what it means to attack the flag?!""The pirates declared war against the World Government!!""Are you insane?! Don't think that you'll be able to survive after making the entire world your enemy!!" Spandam howled.You grinned. They have done it . . .Now the world will turn upside down and know the Straw hats existence!!"Bring it on!!" Luffy angrily bellowed.Robin started crying, moved by Luffy's actions."Robin!! We still haven't heard you say it!!""ROBIN-AH!!"You know that Luffy already done it so it's time to give a final push. You revealed yourself, standing in between Luffy and Usopp.Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa were surprised that you were here while the others were confused by your presence and where you came from."(First Name) . . ." Robin muttered."What is your greatest wish?! Do you want to live, going against the world to survive?? Or do you want to die miserably in an unjust way?! If you want to live, you have to say it . . ." you shouted."SAY YOU WANT TO LIVE!!"Tears started falling on Robin's face, breaking down. 'Even (First Name) too . . .To live . . .I thought it was something I dared not wish for. No one has ever let me wish for it . . .If . . .its okay for me to utter my wish for once . . .I . . .' Robin raised her head in tears and shouted, "I want to live!! Take me to the sea with you!!"Luffy beamed with a triumphant smile and the rest of the crew prepared themselves for battle against CP9. Franky sobbed from being touched by what he had just seen. You grinned."Now my job here is done . . .Goodluck with the rescue . . .Straw hats"
